thetiggler,

Tom and Nova are absolutely right! There maybe less of a stigma surrounding online dating websites these days but my personal opinion is its abit of a cop out and is no substitute for meeting people spontaneously in the real world.

It creates a distorted view of reality if you ask me.

Novas completely right, its all too easy to hide behind smokescreens and for people to portray a distorted version of themselves online, when in the real world in face to face conversation things are much more exposed, body language, tonality and subtext give a much more clearer version of two people.

Close down your match.com (or whatever) account now and come out with boys.

And to answer your question, No I don't think NLP/Speed seduction will be as effective in text format as opposed to face to face.
